Purist and sober, it reveals the influences of the Roman style in all its architecture and decoration. It does not house any important pieces, although in its time it did own a painting by El Greco. Today it has a rich musical archive that preserves 6,000 works - some authors define it as unique in Spain - and an altarpiece by Juan de Juni from the 16th century.

The history of the building is intertwined with the development of the city of Valladolid, to the point that the growth of the town influenced its original construction.

This is the great unfinished Cathedral, the result of a project that could not be developed in all its splendour. The initial collegiate church soon became obsolete due to the changing tastes of the time, so the Chapter took advantage of the opportunity to build a Cathedral that would surpass in importance other similar buildings that made neighbouring capitals proud. Although faithful to Juan de Herrera's project, the building would undergo numerous additions, such as the finishing of the main façade, the work of Churriguera.
